Interface Store

All Known Implementing Classes:
  FileStore, JDBCStore, StoreBase

public interface Store

A Store is the abstraction of a Catalina component that provides persistent storage and loading of Sessions and their associated user data. Implementations are free to save and load the Sessions to any media they wish, but it is assumed that saved Sessions are persistent across server or context restarts.

Method Detail

### getInfo

    public java.lang.String getInfo()

  Return descriptive information about this Store implementation and the corresponding version number, in the format `<description>/<version>`.

### getManager

    public Manager getManager()

  Return the Manager instance associated with this Store.

### setManager

    public void setManager(Manager manager)

  Set the Manager associated with this Store.

  Parameters:
    `manager` - The Manager which will use this Store.

### getSize

    public int getSize()
                throws java.io.IOException

  Return the number of Sessions present in this Store.

  Throws:
    `java.io.IOException` - if an input/output error occurs

### addPropertyChangeListener

    public void addPropertyChangeListener(java.beans.PropertyChangeListener listener)

  Add a property change listener to this component.

  Parameters:
    `listener` - The listener to add

### keys

    public java.lang.String[] keys()
                            throws java.io.IOException

  Return an array containing the session identifiers of all Sessions currently saved in this Store. If there are no such Sessions, a zero-length array is returned.

  Throws:
    `java.io.IOException` - if an input/output error occurred

### load

    public Session load(java.lang.String id)
                 throws java.lang.ClassNotFoundException,
                        java.io.IOException

  Load and return the Session associated with the specified session identifier from this Store, without removing it. If there is no such stored Session, return `null`.

  Parameters:
    `id` - Session identifier of the session to load
  Throws:
    `java.lang.ClassNotFoundException` - if a deserialization error occurs
    `java.io.IOException` - if an input/output error occurs

### remove

    public void remove(java.lang.String id)
                throws java.io.IOException

  Remove the Session with the specified session identifier from this Store, if present. If no such Session is present, this method takes no action.

  Parameters:
    `id` - Session identifier of the Session to be removed
  Throws:
    `java.io.IOException` - if an input/output error occurs

### clear

    public void clear()
               throws java.io.IOException

  Remove all Sessions from this Store.

  Throws:
    `java.io.IOException`

### removePropertyChangeListener

    public void removePropertyChangeListener(java.beans.PropertyChangeListener listener)

  Remove a property change listener from this component.

  Parameters:
    `listener` - The listener to remove

### save

    public void save(Session session)
              throws java.io.IOException

  Save the specified Session into this Store. Any previously saved information for the associated session identifier is replaced.

  Parameters:
    `session` - Session to be saved
  Throws:
    `java.io.IOException` - if an input/output error occurs
